Project Information
Studium is a ROM hack of the Sonic Crackers prototype of Knuckles' Chaotix, being the first project of its kind to tackle physics and mechanic changes from the base game. The SAGE 2020 build is a small demonstration of miscellaneous changes made throughout the last few months; future plans include touched up prototype content, re-worked multiplayer mechanics, level ports, and an eventual open-source release for hacking purposes, as an alternative to the currently existing disassemblies of the Mega Drive Sonic games.
Please understand that this build is in no way close to being a finished game. While the physics and mechanics have been re-worked to more closely resemble those of the Sonic trilogy and CD, there are some glaring bugs, and the level design is unchanged thus requires the debug mode (PAUSE screen) to work around in a few places. Currently only the prototype Techno Tower Zone is accessible.
Compatibility notes: I've taken measures to ensure that this ROM runs on Mega Drive hardware and most well-known emulators.
